A United States Marine was attending some college courses
between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and
Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an
avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He
looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "God, if you are
real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll
give you exactly 15 minutes."
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am
God. I'm still waiting."
It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine
got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and
cold-cocked him knocking him off the platform. The
professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat
and sat there, silently.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there
looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to,
noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What the
hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that ?"
The Marine calmly replied, "God was too busy today
protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right
to say stupid shit and act like an asshole.....So, He sent me."
